About: Earnswood Medical Centre

I’ve been going to Earnswood Practice for 10 years and I’ve been highly satisfied with the service I have received.

I’ve always managed to get an appointment or phone call appointment in good time, often that day.

Secretarial staff are always polite and friendly.

All GP’s I’ve seen have been understanding, friendly, kind and knowledgeable.

I mainly want to write this review for the amazing work done by the doctor

I went to the GP as I was really, really unwell.

I saw the doctor who was lovely and made me feel at ease whilst he called for a urgent blood test.

The next day I get a call to go urgent care at Leighton re my results!

the hospital told me that my blood tests were irregular and was told the doctor wanted a special test of my cortisol,

The doctor but had been following me for a few months cleverly spotted that I might have a very rare condition and requested that I get tested for Addison’s

My condition is so rare that it’s often misdiagnosed for years in some patients as a lot of GP’s / Doctors don’t know about it so I’m very, very, very grateful that the doctor spotted it!

I’ve now seen a specialist and am on medication that will help save my life!

And this is thanks to the doctor.

That’s what I call a great GP practice!!!

Thanks again!!

And he at the end of the phone. When ever I need advice or help
